Acme Packing Company’s writers have watched the film on the Green Bay Packers’ 2020 season and compiled our lists of the best plays from last year.
Adams’ 18 touchdowns in particular made for a number of memorable plays, though several of them just missed out on the top ten based on the voting of the APC contributors.
That play, the opening touchdown of the Thursday night game in San Francisco, finished well outside the top ten.
Working up the right sideline against soft coverage, Adams got inside position on a Detroit defensive back as Aaron Rodgers put the football perfectly on his inside shoulder.
The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Chicago Bears, looking to rebound from a tough overtime loss in Indianapolis the week before.
Adams holds on for the first points of the game and the first of three straight touchdown drives for the Packers, who would open up a 27-3 lead after our 8th-ranked play of the season.
But the Packers aren’t letting off the gas, even with starting running back Aaron Jones out early and normal backup Jamaal Williams inactive with an injury of his own.
Enter rookie second-round pick AJ Dillon, who had missed several games earlier in the season in the COVID-19 protocol.
He easily breaks an arm tackle at the 30 then another ten yards downfield, powering into the end zone to effectively seal a statement victory for the Packers.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s long touchdown early in the Jaguars game cracked the top ten, but it was Adams’ late-game score that took the lead back for Green Bay and provided the final margin of victory.
That’s when the Rodgers-to-Adams connection struck.
